32. "Niall is leaving?"

Julia's POV:"You're kidding! What a dick." I fumed.How could he just do that to her?"Whatever." She sighed."I barely knew him.. And after that I sure as hell don't want to raise a child with him," she replied.I nodded, even though I knew she couldn't see over the phone."Have you told your mom?" I asked."No.. I didn't want to until I was close to showing," she said, quietly."Won't she be able to tell? I mean to offense but pregnant people can be kinda crazy.." I informed her, falling down onto my bed."Yeah.. Well I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, I just want to hold it off as long as I can." She said."I see. So did you-"she cut me off."Niall's moving?" She gasped."What?" I said, a pang of fear washing over me, like an ocean wave.The kind that made you feel like you were going to drown."I don't know. He's taking boxes to his car.." She observed. He was leaving? I know I hurt him pretty badly, but it would hurt me even more for him to leave.. Without saying goodbye? "Julia?" She asked."Oh yeah.. Yeah ill call you later okay?" I choked.She didn't have a chance to respond before I hung up.I needed to see him. I didn't care if he still hated me, I wasn't going to let him leave before I talked to him.-As I approached his house, my suspicions were confirmed. Kinda.He was lifting and shifting around boxes, back muscles flexing as he did so.I wanted nothing more than to go up and hug him from behind, press my lips to his one last time..Knock it off, Julia.I walked closer, becoming increasingly nervous. What do I say now? What if he won't talk to me? Maybe I should go home..Just then he turned around, a mixture of surprise and pain evident in his eyes."You're leaving?" I asked.I decided I better ask him straight up- I had a feeling he wasn't in the mood for small talk.He didn't reply, only shook his head."Okay.. Then what are you doing?" I asked.He lifted a few more boxes into his car before looking up at me."Going to an open house in London. I'm bringing some of my stuff now to lighten the load in the fall,"NIALLS POV:I turned around and was met with Julia's beautiful face. My heart fluttered for a second before the physical heartache returned.I knew I shouldn't have told her I was bringing the boxes for that reason, because honestly I didn't know if I was even going to college in London.I had some old friends there that were letting me crash with them next week, and they said they wouldn't mind me storing some un needed things if I decide to move.I could see she was on edge about this, but it wasn't her choice, and she sure wouldn't be lonely without me."Oh so you decided to go to London?" She asked, quietly. "Probably," I said, nonchalantly."Niall.. There is a lot you don't know about me.. About this" she said, suddenly sounding confident."I know you hate me right now and you have every single right to but you need to let me explain..""No," I said, firmly."Can't you tell? Even you being here, looking at you.. It hurts Julia. You hurt. I need to get away for a while.. To think. Save your breath because your explanation won't be able to help me."Julia's POV:I felt like I could scream. He didn't want to hear a thing I had to say! My explanation couldhelp him, but he's stubborn Niall and he just doesn't care.His eyes were wary as he got in his car. Part of me felt like I should leave, because I really didn't want to watch him drive away from me.I knocked on the window and he apprehensively rolled it down."Goodbye," I whispered."Goodbye," he said.He rolled his window up, and his engine roared as he drove into the distance.I really hoped he was coming back.--I firmly shut the door behind me. I bean making my way to my room, when I heard my mom call behind me."Julia! You have company!" She shouted.Don't be harry...I walked in the living room and was met with Destiny's warm smile."I really have to run, but we are going dress shopping tomorrow, alright?" My mother said, quickly.We both nodded, waiting to speak before she left for sure. Once the door closed, I relaxed back into the couch, propping my feet up on the coffee table."So have you gone out with Zayn?" I asked apprehensively. She nodded eagerly, "He's super nice.. And funny.. And completely adorable!" She said.Nice?"Wow.." I said, slowly."Is there something I should know?" She asked, catching on. I sighed, deciding to tell the truth, because lying hadn't been getting me anywhere."Zayn he.. He got my best friend pregnant, and then he just.. Walked away. Told her he didn't want anything to do with it.." I explained.She sat shocked for a moment."H-how do you know? It could be someone else.." She said, defensively."I'm just telling you what I know," I told her."Whatever," she said, rolling her eyes and standing up. "Destiny!" I called behind her.She didn't say anything, just slammed the door.I sighed, opening the door.To my surprise, I was met with Harry's face."Hey.." He said, "Can we talk?"
